Parameters

cExpression
Type: String
Specifies the character expression whose rightmost characters are returned.
nCharacters

Specifies the number of characters returned from the character expression. RightC( ) returns the entire character expression if nCharacters is greater than the length of cExpression. RightC( ) returns an empty string if nCharacters is negative or 0.

Remarks
RightC( ) is designed for expressions containing double-byte characters. If the expression contains only single-byte characters, RightC( ) is equivalent to RIGHT( ). Characters are returned beginning with the last character on the right and continuing for nCharacters. This function is useful for manipulating double-byte character sets for languages such as Hiragana and Katakana.
